Two nationals acquitted in personal data case
The Dubai Criminal Court of Appeal has upheld the verdict of the lower court and acquitted UAE nationals S.S. and H.Z. of the charge of disclosing personal and confidential data pertaining to female owners of cars listed with the General Department of Traffic.
On December 9, 2007, the Criminal Court of First Instance had acquitted S.S., an employee of the Command and Control Room at the General Department of Operations, Dubai Police, of divulging personal data pertaining to female drivers to his friend H.Z.
The court had also acquitted H.Z. of the charge of instigating the disclosure.
In his statement before the court, Major M.S. of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), had stated that the CID was tipped off about a case of disclosure of personal data, including mobile phone numbers. Both S.S. and H.Z. had pleaded not guilty before the Court of First Instance.
